Even after gaining more than a decade of beauty-industry experience in cities such as New York, LA, and Miami and training with brands such as MAC, Estée Lauder, and Dermalogica, Sebastian Culpepper was still missing one thing: his family. Seeking the familiar comfort—and relative quiet—of home, Sebastian moved back to his native Charleston and channeled his passion for aesthetics into a new venture, The iLash Studio. There, he augments lash lines with Xtreme Lashes extensions, applying them individually at the corners for a cat-eye look or across the lash line for a lush, doe-eyed appearance. Neutralizing the need for eye enhancements such as mascara or eyeliner, the extensions are also easily replenished when they naturally begin to fall out after several weeks.
